28 November 2014 Dear Sir/Madam,
Ours is a animal feed manufacturing industry. We procure raw materials and give it to a processor who in turn manufactures and gives finished product to us, which is sold directly to customer. We pay processing charges to him which includes Loading and un loading charges and production charges. Our final product is NIL rate product (no excise duty is applicable). In this scenario, would there be any implications of Service tax and whether Service tax notification no.8/2005 would be applicable?

28 November 2014 As per negative list you are not liable to pay service tax being manufacturing activity.
If Central Excise duty is leviable on a particular process, as the same amounts to
manufacture, then such process would be covered in the negative list even if there is a central excise duty exemption for such process.

28 November 2014 If the above process amount to be manufacture then it is not liable to service tax as per section 66D i.e. the process should be mentioned in Central Excise Tariff Act 1985.

Otherwise it will covered under Service Tax

you have to check the definition of manufacture . if it come under manufacture then you have to pay service tax. due to above said noti. not cover the NIL duty rate excise duty.

29 November 2014 Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply. We provide raw materials to the processor and he produces the final product which is directly sold to the customers. In that scenario, it amounts to manufacture as no manufacturing activity is done at our end. You mean to say that in such a case, service tax will be applicable. It is the job worker, who has to pay it right?

30 November 2014 Please don't be confused, in present situation liability of Excise Duty can be arise i.e. it is manufacturing activity.

No liability for Service Tax can be arise if any process amount to be manufacture as per section 66D

01 December 2014 you are doing manufacturing activity not liable for service tax under negative list. Your product is also exempted from excise.
